Lyrics
[Chorus]
I got Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
'Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
[Verse 1]
Mama, she'd notice but she's always crying
I got no one to confide in
Aretha, nobody but you
And Mama, she'd notice but she's always fighting
Something in her mind
And it sounds like breaking glass
[Chorus]
I tell Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
'Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
[Bridge]
But you got the words
Baby, you got the words
You got the words
Baby, you got the words
[Verse 2]
Oh, Aretha
Aretha, I don't want to go to school
'Cause they just don't understand me
And I think the place is cruel
Child, sing out, raise your voice
Stand up on your own, go out there and strike out!
I tell Aretha
[Chorus]
I tell Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
'Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
[Outro]
But I got the words
I got the words
I got the words
I got the words
I got the words
